You think it can’t happen to you? Think again.

Feeling good that I just ordered a couple of hundred more masks. Time to top up the hand sanitizer, too. This winter/spring may be pretty brutal, between the new flu strain, the wastrels in charge of public health, bird flu, mpox & other viral buggers doing their mutating thing.

Buckle up!

If you have a 401k or 403b, and can choose from among a # of funds, this is the time to update your selections to whatever you think is least risky.

If it allows you to take a loan & you need to make a large expenditure, consider it. Pay yourself back at a guaranteed interest rate.

More GOP resignations.

More racism from Trump.

How I Became a Populist My time at the Federal Trade Commission—before Donald Trump fired me—totally changed the way I see our political divide.

"I used to think that the defining fight for our country was between the left and the right. Now, I am much more worried about the money at the top crushing everyone underneath."

I continue to be an @bedoyausa.bsky.social fangirl.

Trump administration moves to deny visas to factcheckers and content moderators Action detailed in a state department memo directs officials to deny visas to any applicant engaging in ‘censorship’

It’s all just so gross. So stupid.

I will subscribe to the newsletter of the first journalist to publicly identify the loser ass groypers behind the Trump admin social media accounts

We already cant afford it. We arguably havent been able to afford it since the 1980s =__=

If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back.

Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance.

Be a housing fan.

Trump says he's expanding the travel ban to 30+ countries, & if a country doesn't have a "stable government," it's on the list. I'm willing to bet all 30+ nations are:
1. Black or brown majority
2. Nations USA has intervened to destabilize their Govt

White supremacy continues to thrive in 2025 USA.

Revelations 6:5-6, New Catholic Bible version 5 When he broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature shout, “Come!” I looked, and there was a black horse, and its rider was holding a pair of scales[d] in his hand. 6 Then I heard what sounded like a voice emanating from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, “A quart of wheat costs a day’s wages, and three quarts of barley cost a day’s wages. But do not damage the olive oil or the wine.”

Something very interesting about the Book of Revelations is that in its description of the Four Horsemen, it directly posits that Famine is not some monstrous disease that kills crops or drought or anything, but a merchant overcharging for life's necessities during crisis.

Opinion | Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Could Be Illegal Once nativism escalates, it’s hard to stop.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

The recent shooting in Washington, D.C., “was horrific, and the perpetrator should be punished to the full extent of the law,” Amanda Frost writes in a guest essay. “But collective punishment is just the sort of bigotry that the nation rejected decades ago.”

This shit needs to stop right away

Identify and prosecute every kid-napping brownshirt
Neighbors deserve to know if there's a literal child kidnapper living amongst them

For those who thankfully have left Twitter, just know the site under Musk now fully belongs to Nazis and white nationalists.

This the present and future of the GOP btw. White supremacy, misogyny, cruelty & a delight in violence.

It's going to be an ugly rough road ahead but we have the majority.

does anyone know what they mean by “all” or why they made it the first word of the amendment? so weird!!

Someone gave them orders.

Sickening.

Make shame great again

A new report from Amnesty International, found that the Everglades detention facility known as Alligator Alcatraz punished detainees in "The Box"—a 2x2 foot outdoor cage where victims are shackled, exposed to sweltering heat and swarms of insects, and denied water in a calculated act of torture.

What it's really about: 300 billion barrels

Venezuela has roughly 17% of the world's known oil reserves, more than 300B barrels, according to the Oil & Gas Journal.
In other words, that's how much oil experts believe could be extracted from the country's territory.

And Trump wants it.
